    Welcome aboard,

    Thanks :)
    Looking very professional so far.
    First letters of second words of terms could be capitalized, such as, Server monitors > Server Monitors.

    give us some ideas of next monitoring locations :+1:

    One US West location would be good.

    You added 4 more, nice! :)
    If one asks for 1, you give 4? That's a bad habit. What if I ask to add 10 more monitors to my account, you'll add 40 by that logic. Not a bad deal for me, though! ;)

    The "Anti phishing code" thing is new, haven't seen that before anywhere.

    "An email confirmation was sent to the new email address. Make sure to check and confirm it via email."
    Shouldn't it be done (the confirmation) through the current email address?

    Yeah, not really 3 minutes. Maybe you are looking at the new e-mail that I generated via resend (and that one came before the original one), but this is mostly mailbaby related (or yours lack of SPF?).

    This menu button is not visible, darkmode need some fixes ;p


    This is for custom HTTP check expecting an predefined output/keywoard - I guess it failed that test, but it's not mentioned anywhere. Hovering over "X" mark would be the most obvious place, but nothing :)

    --

    I am kinda too lazy to login on my phone, but emulating mobile view on Chrome makes me wonder: how do you add more than one server to status page? Like it expects me to hold ctrl while clicking and it's not possible on mobile, long press seems to be not doing anything


    3 minutes checks looks more like 4 minutes checks?

    I know flags are cool, but on wide view please put the location name (city?) in the label/text. This especially needed for USA that (atm of course, it's gonna be MOOOOAR!) you have two nodes :)

    OP, copy/paste what hetrix tools have with their monitoring. And agent. From there you may start to improve. Don't reinvent the wheel or you will loose motivation to go further.

    So first of all, thanks for this service.
    But there are a few things I miss. So here is my wishlist:
    1. You are using Contabo for your probes, who wouldn't be my first choice networkwise.
    2. Your mailserver is leaking its IPv4. (DDOS-protection)
    3. It would be nice being able to check for strings (like an "OK" on some /health) on the HTTP(S) check.
    4. Please add Pushover. Even the big tech is using them.
    5. Curently, I only see one request every 3 minutes. As there might also be network-problems, it would be nice to have at least 3 checks from different locations in one time frame.
    6. And last: Please support IPv6.

    Disclaimer: I am using Zabbix, so I probably won't be a paying customer in the future.

    You're welcome - its still a WIP

    But there are a few things I would change. So here is my wishlist:
    1. You are using Contabo for your probes, who wouldn't be my first choice networkwise.

    We don't just use Contabo :+1: and were testing lots of others, looking at the results and then putting them into production.

    1. Your mailserver is leaking its IPv4. (DDOS-protection)

    Yup, were moving - happening at the moment.

    1. It would be nice being able to check for strings (like an "OK" on some /health) on the HTTP(S) check.

    2. Please add Pushover. Even the big tech is using them.

    Its in the works :)

    1. Curently, I only see one request every 3 minutes. As there might also be network-problems, it would be nice to have at least 3 checks from different locations in one time frame.

    Click on Edit on your monitor, then Advanced - you can choose 10 other locations :)

    1. And last: Please support IPv6.

    Being worked on currently.

    What is the idea behind those labels? This makes no sense atm.

    The status page URL Alias need to have checks on the plan - just slapping disabled in frontend is no go ;')

    I've (most likely) broken monitor number 13 by trying different manual POST params, wanna investigate/fix it? :D

    Feedback about status page:

    There are dates (day-month) missing from labels on status page (they are still there in single server view) - this is last 7 days view of one of my servers on status page:
    https://i.imgur.com/q6U7WoH.png
    This is the same server with single view:
    https://i.imgur.com/KYQohpd.png

    Things are totally broken when there is no checks in database - seems like you don't handle that and don't add "empty/broken" entries on timeline.
    This is monitor 13 status page view for last 7 days: https://i.imgur.com/DGPyzyw.png - this totally suggest the server is online and working... but those measurements have 21:00 in legend/right side of graph... and it's around 14:00 - those are 3 days old measurements getting pushed to the right.
    This is same monitor 13 - single view: https://i.imgur.com/BR0SzJI.png - dates are here in labels.
    Todays view: https://i.imgur.com/31YFGxx.png

    Yah looks like you managed to break monitor 13, we've removed it from your account, and looking at all the log and codes to prevent this from breaking again.

    Its inaccurate to some sense. I have 2 instances of Uptime Kuma running on Azure and AWS. While they don't report any outages, Nodecheck manages to always find one. It's weird. I wonder if it has something to do with the pings, because all of my nodes are atleast 150ms from the server (as indicated by the average response time).

    Though I tried adding Google as a control, and as it seems it has 0.6ms average response time and hasn't yet had an "outage".

    Yes, of course. I did so, but (at least yesterday) I could only see one HTTP request in total every 3 minutes coming from different locations. So not every location was checking every 3 minutes, but only one round-robin one was.

    One silly example: My hoster receives AMS and DUS via IXPs, but the rest only via transit. That's why I would add checking from this two locations aswell. Now, the DUS' IXP's DDOS protection feature is faulty and is blackholing my traffik, while the transit is working fine.
    With every location performing a check every timeframe, it would trigger immediately/after 3 minutes, while in your current setup it could take half an hour for the DUS probe to perform the check and alarm.

    Of course: 10 parallel checks might not be necessary, but 3-4 different locations performing the check every timeframe would be nice.

I've looked at your account/monitors and see that AMS was having a wobble, so we've taken it out the mix for now, I've set your monitoring locations from the default London, let it run for the next few hours and then we'll check the log.

    Welcome, we're fixing a few things this weekend :+1: London Monitoring is perfect now so that's been put into production and performing well. We'll have the others ready this weekend. Notifications, email also now dispatched faster via MB/MC & SES. Contabo dropped (tests were terrible, and network was patchy) IPV6 testing also taking place this weekend.

    Big shout out to the LES community for all the feedback and support, its greatly apprecaited.
